๐งญ Why Visit
Prague looks like Europe used to: a castle above a river, a medieval bridge lined with saints, and an old town square where the fifteenth-century clock still draws a crowd on the hour. Come in shoulder season and it's yours.
๐๏ธ A Little History
Capital of Bohemian kings and Holy Roman emperors, Prague escaped the wars that flattened its neighbors โ leaving a thousand years of Gothic, Baroque, and art nouveau streets intact, plus a beer tradition older than most countries.
๐ก Did You Know?
Czechs drink more beer per person than any nation on Earth, and in Prague a fresh Pilsner often really does cost less than bottled water. The Charles Bridge's first stone was laid in 1357, at 5:31am on July 9 โ a palindrome: 135797531.
